An intraoral camera is a tool used in modern dentistry to provide a detailed and comprehensive examination of a patient’s oral health. This small, pen-shaped device plays a crucial role in enhancing the diagnostic and treatment process for our dentists and team.
Intraoral cameras are an indispensable tool in modern dentistry. Their ability to provide a closer look at oral health, aid in diagnosis and facilitate communication underscores its significance in delivering high-quality dental care. These cameras are designed to capture high-quality color images of various parts of the mouth, including the teeth, gums and other oral structures. Its compact size and maneuverability allow our dentists to access angles and areas that are often challenging to observe with the naked eye. This device serves as a crucial aid in evaluating oral health, aiding in the early detection of dental issues such as tooth decay, periodontal disease or dental damage like cracks or chips.
One of the remarkable advantages of the intraoral camera is its function as an educational tool. You can view the captured images alongside Dr. Thomas Beague or Dr. Nick Simon, seeing what we see so you can better understand your current oral health, diagnosis and treatment options. Additionally, these images can be shared with other dental specialists and insurance companies when necessary, streamlining communication and expediting the approval process for dental procedures.
